Taipei Taiwan, July 20, 2011 – QNAP Systems, Inc. today announced that a newly released research study by leading industry analyst firm Gartner shows that QNAP is ranked as the #1 Asian supplier of stand-alone NAS products in the sub-$5,000 price band in terms of vendor revenue. Most impressively, QNAP’s revenue growth jumped 71% in 2010 vs. 2009, making QNAP a rising star in the highly competitive networked storage category. Full details can be found in the Gartner research report “Market Share: Network-Attached Storage/Unified Storage, Worldwide, 2010”, which was released on 21 March 2011 by Pushan Rinnen.

Much of QNAP’s success in the NAS market segment can be traced to a very diverse product line, which ranges from single-drive consumer-level NAS devices to high-end SMB class rackmount NAS devices, redundant power supply, and advanced virtualization support – and everything in between. In addition to rock-solid hardware engineering, QNAP employs an extremely competent software development team with vast experience in network appliance development, and deep knowledge of how to deploy solutions that work perfectly in mixed Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX environments. Additionally, QNAP maintains highly effective global sales & marketing infrastructure and supply-chain management.
